We could scare you with our ghoulish puns, but we'll let Mad King Thorn take care of that. In the meantime, we're accepting submissions for the 2008 Guild Wars Halloween Art Contest.

Halloween is the best holiday

no mini pet rewards this year, booo

[DE] · Oct 06, 2008, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Maybe real art will win this year instead of some random cosplayers.

What is the "Guild Wars Skill Unlock Key" that you get for winning?
and Booooooooooooooo no Mini Pets!

From the PAX event;

Quote:

This special Guild Wars Skill Unlock Key allows you to speak to any Priest of Balthazar and receive the following free unlocks:
One (1) elite skill
Seven (7) normal skills
One (1) item unlock
One (1) rune unlock

...
And apparently that is worth 10$, so 12k (?) Balt Faction equals 10$.

And indeed a shame there are no minipets this year. Not that I would have much of a chance getting any of the good prices

Got to get started! Hmm im thinking of creating a new minion for Mad King Thorn.

StormDragonZ · Oct 06, 2008, 08:36 PM // 20:36

So many ideas and I can't draw worth animal crackers. Even if I did enter, the prize isn't worth it. Might as well wish good luck to those who do well.

To be fair, it is the only holiday that costumes would actually make sense.

Though the decisions last year were pretty bizzare.

GG, The community wants minipets, give them minipets. It doesn't cost anything to create a key code right?

Without the #1 source of rare minis to the community, rare minis will only go up...

I am hoping they will be doing another mini giveaway over xmas , so maybe they didnt want to give pets away as prizes.

If I could draw, I might enter, but I cant, so I wont (and I dont have a cute kid to dress up either.....)

KiyaKoreena · Oct 06, 2008, 10:31 PM // 22:31

I am severely disappointed there are no minipets and that it's the same skill pins as last year. And the skill unlock keys are bloody useless to anyone that has been playing a while. So pretty much the only one worth winning is first or second place if you placed high the previous year.

HawkofStorms · Oct 06, 2008, 10:31 PM // 22:31

People want mini pets... yet complain about how A.net gives them minipets every year instead of some new glowy thing.

Dumb pcyisophrenic guru community, never knows what it wants.

People want rare minis. Something they can show off for their efforts. Skill unlocks sure dont do that.

I could have entered when they were giving away minipet codes. But now I can't because they're sending physical prizes. QQ Australia..

(Canadian residents will be required to answer an additional mathematical question in order to claim their prize.)

lol i though living in a location where the contest is Not Eligibility is bad ...

Believe it or not, there is a valid reason for that. In Canada giving away things in contests constitutes a lottery, which only the government can hold. By having them answer the math question (removing the "pure chance" element that makes it a "lottery") they no longer conflict with that law.

As I'm not a resident of Canada, I may have made some error with that explanation. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.

el oh el Canehda

Ya I agree with DE, hope real art wins this year. I'd enter if I had any kinda of artistic talent.

**cosyfiep** · Oct 07, 2008, 04:40 AM // 04:40

yuppo no kids to dress up for this one, and no ultra rare minis....no reason to enter (no need of skill unlocks.....already did that for all 10 professions, really anet).

and I CAN draw (or at least thats what my college degree says I can do---)....so I will spend my time grinding out more eye points..........(at least I could have sold the mini_)
